I’m so curious at how possibly bad the ending can be. Everyone agrees it’s bad. I think even Mass Effect 3 had it’s defenders. Is it ME3 type of terrible?

While acknowledging that ME3 was a long time ago so maybe my memory is hazy, I still think FarCry 5 ending is worse.

IMO the big difference, and what makes ME3's ending worse is that it completely wiped the universe they built up in the series, so outside of being nonsensical gibberish it also just poo poo over everything built up over what, a decade's worth of games? In comparison, FC5's ending is just bad.

Holy mother of god, those endings. What the gently caress were they thinking? Some bad, bad poo poo even by Ubisoft's standards.Naturally Selected posted:IMO the big difference, and what makes ME3's ending worse is that it completely wiped the universe they built up in the series, so outside of being nonsensical gibberish it also just poo poo over everything built up over what, a decade's worth of games? Can't say I completely disagree but I would say that FC5 doesn't even really have an ending it's just nukes fall, everybody dies. There's no real closure or clever "Gotcha" or Chekhov's gun situation. The ending just......happens. Red Mundus fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Apr 3, 2018 |

So not only does the ending just kinda make everything you did seem pointless but there is another side to it. The point of the nukes going off because of mounting tensions with North Korea and not the cult is because it is to say that Jacob was right all along. When he was saying that he was a prophet of god and that god won't let you kill him, he was correct. The point of the ending of this game isn't the previous games "you were just as much of a monster as the bad guy." The point was "the bad guy was actually right all along". This also says a lot about why the game is so toothless in trying to make a statement. Because then it would be that the racist rednecks were correct all along, which would go down even worse than just seeming toothless. Really it all seems like they came up with the twist first and then tried to come up with a story to fit that later. I really wish the Far Cry games actually dropped trying to have any semblance of a "serious" story and went all in on the goof because that would actually be interesting and not needlessly teenage edgy. Like, imagine if the whole game was just the wacky cartoony murder playground and didn't try to have a last minute turn into being "serious".

I really dislike that the game does not pause while in the weapon menu. There are so many options to choose from when it comes to grenades and throwables that I barely ever try to use anything except my guns while in a firefight. I don't want to risk fumbling around in the menu while enemies are advancing on me. What's worse is that the number keys for those things will change which one is selected if you hit the same number key. I can't even set my favorites for each slot and have it stay consistent. Maybe it's just something I need to practice instead of avoiding.

Lol those endings. I don't care if the ending "made it so that Joseph was right", because the cult is a bunch of murderous psychopaths so it's impossible to get any enjoyment from their victory. The best thing I've heard in defense of the FC5 endings is that you were maybe on drugs, so maybe just "nothing happened" instead of that mess.

Wouldn’t it be infinitely more interesting if the villain was dead certain on something happening at a set date, and then nothing happens, and we’ll get to deal with his reaction to that nothingness. I’m tired of these “the villain is right” bullshit stories, how about just exposing his bullshit?

Aside from fishing to get the fourth rod which seems like it will probably take hours, I've now completed all missions, side quests, etc. The rewards for the collectable missions are all absolutely awful and not even remotely worth the time they take to complete. The wolf beacons in Jacob's region and the shrines in Faith's region are especially lame because there's no easy way to track them down. Some of the shrines can be located by reading notes in various locations but I was left with 14/16 and it took me nearly two hours to find the last two, which weren't anywhere close to the "pilgrimage" path as the game claims. Considering you have to catch record sizes for all the fish to get the fourth rod, it is completely useless by the time you get it and I doubt I'll go for it.

The fact that the final story mission with Jacob doesn't let you choose is loving bullshit. It wasn't that clever of a trick, I totally saw that coming and even waiting for the timer to run out but the game was having none of it.

It's actually good that theres a reasonable correlation between what you'd hunt with irl and in this game. Don't shoot anything bigger than a dog with .556. Use a shotgun or .308 at least. .50 cal is effective but lollin tho

The whole game is very non-committal with its character writing. All the Seeds are set up to be these satirical parodies of American evangelism but end up just being cliched violent psychopaths you've seen 1,000 times before.

She's actually a deputy like you - Faith has the Marshall, and there was only the one of those. short answer: I don't recall actually seeing much. You might hear some screaming. John ending spoiler in regards to her: You end up rescuing her, she goes back to the Spread Eagle, and seems mostly OK. Has some interesting dialog too if you just chat with her after she's been rescued.
